Just overheard my parents downstairs through the bathroom vent, and they said:
Dad: "Why aren't you in the office?"
Mom: "... It's Wednesday?"
Dad: "Oh, right, it's Wednesday."
And I'm trying not to laugh because my first thought was, "Of course they don't know it's Wednesday if they don't have a fat flat frog to tell them!"
Tumblr media
How do older generations even know it's Wednesday without this dude, or Thursday without the Lucky Star girls dancing to Hall & Oates, or Tuesday without the sweet fat of the hog?

I just found out how DIRECT my boss is
So. I work for this small company. We have a product in the accounting field that's highly specific and specialized but has the potential to revolutionize a specific type of audit. My job is to check the outputs before sending them to clients to make sure our software is working correctly.
My job is work-from-home. As in, by necessity. The company is based in Nebraska and there are no offices. It's perfect for me to just roll out of bed and get to work, but sometimes I admit I do tend to get distracted and dawdle. I'm working on it and so far it hasn't caused monetary harm to the company.
But the other day, I was dawdling. No clients were using our software so I had nothing to review, and nobody had any special projects for me to work on. In my downtime I'm trying to learn Python, but instead I got distracted by the books on my shelf by the desk. Over in Nebraska, the tech team was working hard to get the new version of our app up and online.
Then, out of the blue, my boss messaged me: "Is the V1 app so slow you cannot do your job?"
I nearly had a heart attack. I mean, read that and tell me it doesn't feel like the most passive-agressive thing you've ever read. Like she caught me dawdling somehow 1.1k miles away and was trying to light a fire under me. I panicked, but there was nothing waiting for me to do, no messages I hadn't read. I messaged apologetically something like, "I'm sorry, am I missing something in the queue?"
She replied, "No, we're just having trouble with the V1 and I wanted to know if it was affecting you."
Y'all. She just. Asked a question with no hidden meaning and wanted a straightforward answer. I don't know why that's so rare in my life but when I realized I'd completely misread the tone, I laughed. I've never been happier in a job before. I'll admit, working at Disney World had better benefits, but working here hardly feels like work at all.

Wait, am I misunderstanding this or are you the one who designed the Krawk? Because that little creature has been living rent free in my head since 2002.
OH DANG they're bringin' back the old UC art over on Neopets!🙌🏼🎉
My last summer working at Neopets was 2007, which was riiiight on the eve of the big conversion—I rarely kept track of my more basic paintbrushes (purple, rainbow, checkered, etc), but I sure as heck kept track of all the PBs I designed that required full redraws:

I do not think I realized until this moment how many ixis I drew, apologies to all other pet species 😔🙏

My cat, wallowing in misery after I didn't let her chew her tail wound to the point of bleeding. She's being so brave about it.

I'm gonna read the crap outta this
Tumblr media
Free ebook available now from karmazenuk.com; I'd rather be read than be paid. If you want to show some love, buy an "official" ebook from the retailer of your choice.

Sometimes I'll come across a Team Fortress 2 fanfic and the author will be like, "This is my high school/coffee shop/whatever AU where I use no elements of the game or lore except for my favorite mercs. I gave them all my own headcanon names though, even the ones with official names, and I acknowledge they're all acting OOC." And I go, "All right. I will read your short story regardless, but I would like very much for you to explain to me exactly how this is TF2 fanfiction."
The answer is essentially, "Well, because I'm a fan of TF2 and I wrote it." Which is a fair answer.

Edgar, my beloved!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
timeforwizards: finally finished my first cross-stitch project!! what drew me to try cross stitching was its resemblance to pixel art, which was a major feature of my childhood. anyway here’s the love of my life, Prince Edgar from King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella. edgar is green-skinned (except when he blushes, which is often) and hunchbacked and a full head and shoulders shorter than rosella. up until THE CURSE is lifted anyway!! he is also incredibly shy & quiet & kind. i would die for him [x, x]

I was an active TV watcher when this campaign was running and I never ONCE saw this commercial. It was SO confusing in 1999 when the day after the Superbowl or whenever it started, everyone was going WAZZZZUUUP and it was the most viral meme of the pre-meme era and I never. saw this. Not for lack of trying. Everyone was saying WAZZZZUUUP for YEARS, it was the punchline to every joke it was how people answered phones. It was so surreal. I didn't see it until I looked it up in the 2010s on YouTube.
I can still hear this image, it just sounds like the ghosts of the Y2K era.
